My Project

I have had my 1985 K10 for about 4 years now. Just used it for driving when it snowed alot mostly. It was a rusty mess. Bed was rusted on the sides. Front fenders doors,cab corners and one rocker. A few months ago I went to drive it and gas tank was empty. Went to fill it up and it was coming out the bottom about as fast as I was putting it in. Thats how I got started fixing up this truck. A new gas tank. Next thing I knew I was replacing a tired 305 with a rebuilt 350. Before I knew it I was replacing body panels,the bed and getting cab corners fixed. I went to copy before pics off my old computer and somehow deleted them. Trust me it wasnt a pretty truck. Anyhow this is how the truck sits today. Replaced the hood and doors today. Now its ready to go to the body shop for a new coat of paint

Nice work! That thing is going to be sharp when you get some paint on it.
